Abstract

An adjustable socket-forming device (10) is disclosed that is adapted for use with a ratchet (26) or other tool to form an adjustable socket wrench. The socket-forming device includes a body (12), a movable gripping member (60) slidably mounted by the body, and a screw (80) for securing the movable gripping member at a selected position with respect to the body. The body includes a fixed gripping member (30) shaped so as to define a first group of faces (34, 36) of a polygonal socket, and the movable gripping member is shaped so as to define a second group of faces (66, 68) of the polygonal socket. The movable gripping member is slidably mounted by the body such that the first and second groups of faces are opposed, and such that the movable gripping member is movable with respect to the body to vary the distance between the groups of faces. Securing the movable gripping member at a selected position with respect to the body thereby defines a socket of a selected size.
